How do I find God's Will for My Life?

This question gets a lot of press and rightfully so because we want to live life the 'right way' and we really do want to do God's will -- AS LONG AS WHAT HE WANTS US TO DO IS WHAT WE WANT TO DO ....!  The good news is that following God's will fits us quite well because He made us and He knows where our strengths and true dreams are.  So, we can trust Him with us. 

The challenge for some of us is that we already know what God's will is for us and we pretend like we don't because we don't want to do what He's calling us to do next.  If that's you, then don't expect anymore guidance from God until you do what He's already told you to do. 

However, if you're serious about finding His will and doing HIS will and not just your doing your own thing then you can be assured He'll guide you. 

But, it begins with just doing the very next thing that God asks of you. 

By the way, what God asks of you will NEVER contradict the precepts, principles and patterns already given to us in the Bible.  For example, you may be 'feeling' like it's God's will for you to leave your wife and kids to be with an old flame you've been chatting with on FaceBook.  I promise you that's NOT God's will even though you 'feel' like it is.  How do I know?  Because it would violate God's precepts already spelled out clearly in the Bible.  When you have to choose between your 'feelings' and God's plans from Scripture -- go with Scripture 100% of the time!

So, if you're really ready to embark on the greatest journey of your life then watch the presentation below and let these ideas sink in then begin doing the 'little daily things' that you already know God wants you to do and He'll move you to where He wants you to be over time.

peace,
Jeff
